I've just got hold of the planning docs for the opening ceremony.

Organiser;
Right, we'll pile everyone on some boats.
I've found a load of people from the streets and told them to do loads of random shit when the boats go past.
No rehearsal needed (fact that none of this was rehearsed!)
Et voilà!

My possibly controversial opinion is that anything that requires a judges score isn’t a sport and shouldn’t be in the olympics.

If you’re on the wrong bank you’re just looking at a load of Thames clippers sailing by with the backs of athletes all that’s visible. Just pleased that the refugee small boat didn’t sink - would have made this disaster even more of a debacle. Initially thought I was watching a pride carnival in Brighton or Eurovision. Did they not learn anything from our dismal river pageant in London?

Does look like some kind of pride festival. What ever happened to all athletes just walking into the stadium waving their flag?? It’s an absolute shit show and hammering down with rain, couldn’t of happened to a nicer nation

Who’s the masked child catcher going to be? My guess is Gerard Derpardieu or Eric Cantona or maybe Plastic Bertrand.

Unwatchable. The freak show on the bridge was quite disturbing at times.

Can't remember the last time I watched any Olympics. Two weeks of stupid "sports" that half the world ain't interested in! When they introduced synchronised drowning as a "sport", that was it for me! What next? Tiddlywinks? Beer drinking? Dwarf tossing? Jeez!!!

To be fair, if pint downing was a sport, I’d be in with a chance of an Olympic medal…

We’ve got to be aware of our own talents. Some rugby boys put in Germany tried to challenge me to a pint off (a rugby boy custom) and to humble-brag, I surprised the gentlemen (and myself) in question. I’ve still got it!

Was this speed drinking? My personal best is downing a pint in just under 3 seconds. Haven't tried again for years though! Too bloody old!

Quite symbolic that the flag was raised upside down.



The rest of the world must be laughing at us.

Indeed it was and that’s about my speed now - at uni it was a bit quicker. It’s never a good idea HH, the hangovers I get now compared to uni are really bad!

Just watched the womens 100m freestyle relay - Good show from GB but outside the medals.
Something didn't seem quite right tho and then the penny dropped - Can't remember the last time I saw so many women in one place with exposed arms (and legs) and not a single tattoo.
Ha! What a bunch of losers.
Really weird. Like the 1970's or something.

We will win the alternative medal table for 'sitting down sports'..... rowing, cycling, equestrian/dressage, canoeing and sailing.

Having not really bothered with the Olympics for quite some time I’m gonna make a concerted effort to watch them this time.
I surprised myself by really enjoying the Rugby 7s. I’m not a Rugby fan at all but it was great. Not least because it’s over really quickly!
Im not getting on with the horse events.
